Abstract The TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) superfamily of cation channels is
remarkable in that it displays greater diversity in activation mechanisms and selectivities …

The transient receptor potential (TRP) protein superfamily consists of a diverse group of
cation channels that bear structural similarities to Drosophila TRP. TRP channels play …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a widely expressed family of 28
evolutionarily conserved cationic ion channels that operate as primary detectors of chemical …

C. elegans OSM-9 is a TRPV channel protein involved in sensory transduction and
adaptation. Here, we show that distinct sensory functions arise from different combinations of …

Visual transduction in the Drosophila compound eye functions through a pathway that
couples rhodopsin to phospholipase C (PLC) and the opening of transient receptor potential …

Drosophila visual transduction is the fastest known G-protein-coupled signaling cascade
and has therefore served as a genetically tractable animal model for characterizing rapid …

Animals have a remarkable ability to track dynamic sensory information. For example, the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can locate a diacetyl odor source across a 100,000-fold …

Since the first TRP ion channel was discovered in Drosophila melanogaster in 1989, the
progress made in this area of signaling research has yielded findings that offer the potential …

ERM (Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) proteins are membrane–cytoskeleton linkers that regulate the
structure and the function of specific domains of the plasma membrane. ERM proteins are …

There is a rapidly growing interest in the family of transient receptor potential (TRP)
channels because TRP channels are not only important for many sensory systems, but they …
